Fresh install of Windows 7, format advise.

As the title says basically.

I am looking at doing a fresh install of Windows 7. I know the basics but Id like to know how to ensure my hard drive is formatted correctly, IE; not just a quick format carried out by the W7 install wizard.

Thanks for the advise guys but I carried out a full format using a programme called Boot and Nuke. A really good piece of software actually, took a few hours but checked my HDD for bad sectors etc.
